4.00 Credits
This course will emphasize the interdisciplinary characteristics of watershed management. The need to incorporate ecological and socioeconomic factors when planning and implementing programs to achieve sustainable, socially viable natural resource development is emphasized. Prerequisites: Biol 212, Chem 211, Math 140 (or equivalent), For 105, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and practice of wildlife management; with an emphasis on habitats, distribution, abundance and legal considerations.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will address livestock health management, livestock production economics and effects on natural resources. Primary emphasis will be on beef cattle production, but other species of domestic animals and wildlife will be discussed.
-
1.00 Credits
A capstone course that requires students to integrate information from across the Forestry major's courses in the production of a professional management plan. Prerequisite: Senior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
This class investigates the ecology of fire in a variety of ecosystems; and, includes the effects of fire on plants, animals, soils, water, and air. The course will emphasize the prediction and characterization of fire effects over time and space, and the role of fire in restoration ecology. Case studies of restoration projects using fire in prairies, ponderosa pine and white bark forests will be examined. Prerequisites: Biol 389, For 315, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This class is designed to investigate the potential problems resulting from fires including erosion on slopes and in stream channels, sediment and debris jams in streams, weed infestations, loss of vegetation and forest cover, hazards from fire-killed trees falling, and potential damage from post-fire activities like salvage logging.
-
4.00 Credits
Prescribed fires are used to meet management objectives of fuel reduction and ecosystem restoration. This course explores the design, planning, conduct and monitoring in prescribed fire utilization. The course includes two (2) mandatory Saturday field trips, and, participation in a prescribed fire. Prerequisites: For 105, For 318, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of the general process of conducting release, contamination and risk assessments. Furthermore, students will be able to understand and work with federal and state guidances and regulations that bear on the conduct of environmental public health investigations. The ultimate goal is to equip students with knowledge and skills that are utilized to assess the general impact of substances on human health. Prerequisites: Biol 212, Chem 212, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Wildfire behavior depends on vegetation and fuel loading over landscapes. Fires that burn through landscape mosaics of habitat types have variable effects on wildlife, vegetation, and surface hydrology. This creates impacts to water quality and yield, wildlife production, and plant distributions that persist for decades. This course will investigate landscape features of wildfires, and, modelling tools to predict landscape-level fire behavior and impacts. Prerequisites: For 405, or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to viral bacterial, and fungal diseases found in wildlife species. The diagnosis and management of the disease are explored. Pre-requisite: Biol 302
